[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t it great that we allow private institutions to decide how to assemble a class of students that reflects their institutional goals?[/quote]
Call it what you want it is still discrimination.[/quote]
If there are 1000 qualified students and only 50 spaces, then the institution can create any criteria they want to select the 50. It's not discrimination against the other 950 students who don't meet the criteria. Say the school decided they wanted one kids from each state, but 500 kids applied from Maryland. It's not discrimination against Maryland if they still took only 1 student. For any college selection process, you are competing against students most like you. The more unique you are, the better your chances. If TJ was 98% URM and 2% White and Asian, then the White and Asian kids would be the unicorns and would stand out. [/quote]

+1. Should be common sense.[/quote]

DP. Applying a common set of criteria for all applicants would be equitable....that’s common sense.  Having different criteria for applicants based on their race doesn’t make sense and is obviously discriminatory.[/quote]
